Conclusion

The results to this experiment rejected the researcher’s hypothesis. It was hypothesized that the alga exposed to the EMF would absorb less light over the 400-800 nm range. Upon observing this data, it was hypothesized by the researcher that, given electromagnetic fields associations with cancer, the field caused a rapid increase in the number of chlorophyll cells in the algae. Due to the increased number of photosynthetic pigments, and increase in photosynthesis processes could subsequently occur. Should this experiment be completed again, an increased voltage of EMF would be used, as well as an increased exposure time and increased measurement time. Instead of one week of exposure and one event of data collection, there would be six or so weeks of exposure and weekly collections. With this information a more accurate explanation as to the effects of EMF's could be deduced.
